You all can have about $60 million in cap space if ya want, while retaining your top 3 players. Sounds like the sky is the limit.
The problem is that the FA market is pretty weak. It seems like the paths towards improvement are trades and through the draft these days.
That trade for Mitchell was the exact right move for the Cavs. There was no other way to land that type of talent in Cleveland. The Magic are facing a similar reality this summer.
For your guys sake, i hope you can do it without surrendering as many assets as the Cavs did.
They gave up 3 unprotected first rounders, 2 unprotected pick swaps, the draft rights to a lottery pick, a future All-Star, and Sexton.
That is such a steep price to pay for a guy who has never been past the 2nd round.
You all could try to overpay Klay then get Jonas bc you said you want a "real" big guy. Or alternatively, go sign a lead guard like Ty Jones, sign a shooter like Monk, and then get your guy Hartenstien who can be a terror on the boards. Idk if there's a great 3rd option Hield is a shooter who will be out there, cheap bigs like Drummond/Jordan will be out there.
I think similar to the Cavs you all will probably have to pay above market value to lure guys but I think there are enough shooters and bigs in free agency to snag one of each. Finding that lead guard is gonna probably have to be the draft, internal growth, or maybe trade but that could kill draft asset flexibility.
